1. circle the number sentence that goes with

this model.

10 =

Explanation:

Step1: Count the total number of squares

The first model has \(16\) squares.

Step2: Analyze the fraction

Each group has \(4\) squares. So the fraction is \(\frac{1}{4}\) (since \(16\div4 = 4\)). The number sentence is \(16\times\frac{1}{4}\).

For the second model:

Step1: Count the total number of squares

The second model has \(20\) squares.

Step2: Analyze the fraction

There are \(3\) shaded groups out of \(10\) groups. So the fraction is \(\frac{3}{10}\). The number sentence is \(\frac{3}{10}\times20\).

Answer:

1. \(16\times\frac{1}{4}\)
2. \(\frac{3}{10}\times20\)
